SIMS Analysers for Surface Characterisation

Secondary ion mass spectrometry(SIMS) is a versatile, highly sensitive technique for compositional analysis of surfaces from the atomic layer level to profiles through depths over 100’s of nanometres. The technique utilises surface probing by a beam of energetic ions to displace and ionise surface atoms for acquisition and identification of both positive and negative secondary ions by mass spectrometry.
